Bob Cesca calls it Scarborough's Law, and it has been faithfully been implemented by the media throughout this campaign: When the Republicans attack, repeat the attack over and over. When the Democrats attack, attack the Democrats. For lack of a better term, let's call it Scarborough's Law, in honor of…
Dennis Kucinich gives a six-minute summary of the disaster that has been occurring over the past eight years. According to Kucinich, what the neocons want to do is to drill into our wallets some more. I concur entirely. We truly need to wake up. We excel at being complacent (and…
Why should we ask John McCain harsh questions? Because we need to even the playing field. You see, if Barack Obama had McCain’s background, ignorance and bad character, the election would have been over months ago. The news media is holding back, though. Those media barbecues appear to be paying off.
So it’s time to even the playing field. Since the media keeps asking these sorts of disparaging and insulting questions to Barack Obama, it’s time to ask these same sorts of questions to John McCain.

If you have additional questions that the media needs to ask John McCain, please submit them in the comments. I’d like to make this post a place where reporters are free to visit for ideas.

Why is your smile so creepy and fake?
Do you really believe that the President of the U.S. virtually functions as a dictator?
General Character Deficits…
I was reading Friendly Atheist this morning, and found out that the DNC is preparing to start their convention (coronation ceremony?) with an interfaith religious service. (Link to the post) They invited representatives of several religions to speak, but explicitly denied access to any atheists, agnostics, pagans, spiritualists, or humanists.…
I found this on Reddit.com, which contained the link to wired.com. How many times have you heard someone say, "If you've got nothing to hide, then why do you care whether the government is spying. Bruce Schneier at Wired assembled these well-considered responses: "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what…
